No one was injured in an early morning fire that took place at Ken’s Korner on June 20.

Crews responded around 2:35 a.m. to a fire alarm at the shopping center on Highway 525, according to South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Terry Ney. Upon arriving, they found smoke coming from a storage unit on the back side of the building. They forced entry and extinguished the blaze in about 10 minutes.

An investigation later that morning determined that an old electric heater had been knocked over onto a combustible surface by an object falling from above, Ney said. The spread of the fire was accelerated by a nearby cardboard box of spray paint cans, some of which burst and spread the flammable solvent base over a wider area.

The damage was contained to the contents of the storage unit, with limited damage to the interior walls and wiring of the unit.
